Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

We administer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to areas of inflammation that has not been helped by other methods.

PRP currently is used as an alternative treatment method for several common orthopaedic-related sports medicine conditions, such as tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis and patellar tendonitis (Jumpers Knee). It is a process where a patients own blood is placed into a centrifuge that rotates at high speed causing the red blood cells to separate from the platelets (blood cells that release growth factors that help the body heal itself). The platelet-rich portion of the blood then is injected directly into the patients injured area. *

Chronic Achilles tendonosis
PRP can be effective in the treatment of severe cases of Achilles tendonosis that are resistant to traditional non-operative treatment. Read the abstract. *

Shoulder injury repair
The use of platelet-rich fibrin matrix with an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair did not significantly affect pain management around the time of surgery or the clinical outcome. *
